"h264tsto" automates audio/video demuxing and MKV muxing - Page 2

madshi · 11th February 2007, 18:01

I've just tried. Doing it as a tool doesn't improve things on my PC. My test "vc1tomkv" tool was able to correctly mux a 55MB vc1 file to mkv. But muxing a big file failed miserably in the same way as Graphedit fails. Tried a 15GB vc1 file and simply nothing happened. The muxing was sitting idle (but not "run through") and the mkv file stayed at 0 bytes all the time.

THX for testing anyway.
Weird that it works with small files, but not with big ones.

Same problem here:
100mb ok
13gb bad (4.09gb once worked)

source: BBC-HD H.264 MBAFF .ts

really annoying.... as h264tsto is the ONLY tool a bit near to putting H.264 MBAFF in .mkv

Haali or other coders really have problems with big files....... why are coders always so humble?

Will there be a Windows util. made from this tool? I'm no programmer but I'd like to be able to extract those h264 tracks anyway...

This *IS* a Windows utility.

In graphedit they connect, but only small files result in a successfull muxing. Bigger files make problems like http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=121497.

FWIW, with the very latest Haali Media Splitter + Haali Matroska Muxer the current version of h264tsto can mux VC-1 EVO files directly to MKV!! I didn't even have to do anything. Haali did all the magic. Just use "h264tsto some.evo some.mkv". The DD+ tracks are all getting muxed, too, but I think the DD+ tracks are not getting a good designation yet. I think Haali is going to correct that with the next version of his filters.

Hi! This is a awesome too, thank you for making this available for gimps like me.

But I have a problem with the output, for some reason I have insane framedrops while playing it back on any player (no problems with TS or other 1080p mkvs). Putting the result through mkvmerge and adding in a 25 fps timecode solves the problem but kinda defeats the purpose of making it work in one step. Any idea what might cause this?

madshi · 3rd March 2007, 22:29

Hmmmm... I've not had such a problem yet. With which movie did this happen? Or does it happen with all movies for you? Please give me a list of movies, so I can double check against a movie I own.

Thank you for this tool. It would be much more useful with:

1. The ability to set the transport pids. What do you do if a stream has more than one program?

2. Release of source code.

I don't have such a TS file for testing. Much depends on how Haali's Simple Media Splitter behaves in such a case, cause my tool really does nothing more than to connect some DShow filters. Can you upload a little TS file (50MB should be enough) for me to test?

No problem. I've added it to the upload. (Same link as before). It's Delphi code, btw.

Thank you for the source code. I can get you a stream next week. I am off work this week and have one there.

Where can I download the latest Haali Matroska Muxer?

Could you add "fps" option for mkv files because my movie plays to fast. BTW! How to force fps in mkvmerge?

Are you talking about TS files or EVO files? I could add a "fps" option, but it would mean that there'd be a second step necessary. Right now the tool creates a MKV file by using Haali's filters. Forcing fps would mean running the newly created MKV file through mkvmerge. Possible, but the whole process will take about twice as long as it takes now.

Atak_Snajpera · 10th March 2007, 07:57

I mean TS

madshi · 10th March 2007, 10:06

Hmmmm... That's strange. All TS files I've muxed seem to work fine for me. What kind of TS file is that? Where did you record/get it from? MPEG2 or H.264? What FPS is it supposed to have?

bob0r · 22nd March 2007, 01:22

BBC-HD H.264 MBAFF 1440x1088 (AR 16:9) 25fps @ ~18mbit

These mostly fail when 5GB or more.... probably due to the Haali muxer though.

Our hope lies with Neuron2!

In my experience BBC streams tend to have more glitches in them compared to SkyHD/PremiereHD streams. Don't know why. Maybe BBC is harder to receive. Anyway, glitches in the stream may bring Haali into problems. I've not had any problems with muxing glitch free PremiereHD streams yet. They're all about 12-25GB.

bob0r · 22nd March 2007, 16:40

Yup, could be, though the streams i tried are all without stream errors.

Good news

C:\Program Files\Haali\MatroskaSplitter\gdsmux.exe now can mux MBAFF flawlessly into .mkv, even including audio, if the audio stream doesn't change (many BBC stream change from 5.1 to 2.0 vise versa, so i first cut the .ts using dd.exe)

The latest version of h264tsto, can mux video-only into .mkv? Or will it always try video+audio?
If so, an option for video (or audio) only would be nice.
